I agree burned....my WW too had issues from her teen age years where she was sexually abused and had repressed it her whole life as well as some other abusive relationships with friends and family, former husband. It did all come to a head earlier this year when she decided she would be a victim no more and began acting out in a childish/teenager mentality with no responsibility at all. I do see narcissistic tendencies however I believe it is the relief of all of the repressed pain with the validation that you mentioned that was no longer the same high when I did it after the 2 decades of M.
Little does she realize that her actions are only causing her new hurt to forget the old until it all resurfaces.
Lost,
Sorry to hijack your thread with my previous post, but after reading your reply to burned, your W and my W's experiences sound eerily similar. I feel for you, man, cuz I'm going through the exact same thing. I hope both of us can get through this.
Hopefully both our Ws can clear their heads before its too late for them! I'm trying like hell to save my M but it looks like the effort I've put forth in doing so will only give me the comfort in knowing, for myself, that I did everything I could. It takes two to R. Stay strong, brother. It's been a struggle for me on an hourly basis thus far.......
